Maria Anna Mozart was a musical prodigy just like her younger brother Wolfgang. Although the children toured Europe together, once Maria Anna came of age, she was left behind while her brother became a star.

But controversial new evidence suggests she may have contributed to her brother’s earliest works while a global search for her compositions continues.
